Get it sorted quickly or you will have loads of the little fuckers.

My first run in with mice ended up like that, I didn't know it was mice as I am a dumb city dweller and had never had them before, we got a box off her country house living aunt and put it in the shed, strange marks and a smell appeared in the shed over the course of time but oddly no shit in sight but we just ignored it really and then of course more chewing became obvious and shit appeared, we laid traps down etc but it wasn't enough, when we decided to empty the shed out o investigate it was like the fucking pied piper of hamlet as they were all hiding behind the last few objects in the shed, moved that and it was horrible, mice cunts everywhere, 100's of the fuckers, we owned (poor thing is dead now) a Patterdale terrier he just stood and watched as they ran out of the shed door and into the garden and street lol.


second time and in new house they were getting in via the washing machine pipe outlet, they must have been acrobatic mice to leap onto the pipe and then into the house through the hole around pipe.

Traps laid and expanding foam around pipe and eventually we got rid of them.
 
Block bait screwed to timber, leave in the garage along a side the wall.
They eat it for a day or 2 then no more but keep it baited 24/7, same for lofts.
Blocks are wax based and don't rot and as for smells never noticed anything.
Trapping will deal with them one at a time, poison clears the nest - even though you think you've sorted it keep the blocks down or others will arrive,
 
Don’t want to worry you but they breed like scousers on benefits.

Typically they have a litter of 6 and upto 10 times per year. The young reach sexual maturity after only 6 weeks. So a couple of the little fuckers in the space of a few months can result in a shit tonne.

Eliminating the entry and exit points is critical, but they can flatten their bodies and get through even the tightest of spaces so make sure you do a good job of it.

Check that there are no other things in the garage which they might use as food.

Then it’s just a case of some tasty food (as others have said they do seem to like that disgusting American creation, peanut butter) and a few traps and away you go.

Surprised @aguero93:20 hasn’t suggested torching the garage yet!

Edit noticed that @nimrod has already done it for him.
